Tablets can also be used to help kids learn. My 3 year old niece has one and the only stuff on it is educational games, videos, and even the music is educational. With the way technology is constantly evolving it doesn't surprise me that younger children get introduced to technology early on, and you really shouldn't be so astounded either, it's just a tablet, not drugs.

#13 why would you not give your 8y old a tablet? Just because you don't use technology for anything other than porn and social media doesn't mean it's the same with others. It can be used for educational purposes and it's great that kids learn to use technology at early age.

The only thing they say is that they were suffering sleep paralysis in the video. They don't mention any symptoms they displayed on the video, so why are you assuming they are wrong? Especially since the cause of sleep paralysis is that you are in between awake and asleep, more specifically entering or leaving the Rapid Eye Movement period of sleep, which is why people who suffer from sleep paralysis can still move their eyes. People who suffer from sleep paralysis also (usually) have one of three main types of hallucinations while in this state, which also exacerbates the amount of eye movement. Which, kudos to OP's son, rapid eye movement was considered a sign of possession by some paranormal experts.

You may think you're awake, but actually you are asleep. Sleep paralysis occurs when you reach stage 4 sleeping or REM(rapid eye movement) sleep, which is a very deep sleep. Once in REM sleep sometimes the neurons in the brain misfire causing sleep paralysis.
